Doesn’t everything seem harder? You’re working from home while home-schooling while taking on minor home improvements while taking care of everyone else! Give yourself a break in Western Mass. Check into a lovely hotel room (super clean due to increased cleaning and safety protocols) then enjoy a spa treatment. After that, how does a little shopping sound followed by a gourmet meal cooked just for you? Add a cocktail and you have a getaway guaranteed to relax and recharge. Grab a friend or maybe even your significant other and hit the road to Western Mass.

Here are some of our best suggestions to make your getaway special:

Renew.calm is a locally owned spa in West Springfield offering all kinds of relaxing treatments sure to do the trick!   If you’re feeling REALLY stressed, try their CBD Massage. They use CBD hemp oil which is a good source of essential fatty acids and proteins. Another unique massage option is the Bamboo Massage with heated bamboo rods for deep pressure. Renew.calm also has a full menu of unique skincare and nail treatments.

If right about now all you want to do is relax, enjoy a good meal and get away from it all, try out one of the packages at The D.Hotel Suites & Spa in Holyoke. Packages include overnight accommodations plus spa and dinner credits all on-site.

What’s more relaxing than scented candles? With over 90,000 square feet of retail space, you’re sure to find that perfectly relaxing scent at Yankee Candle Village. They even have a scent named “A Calm & Quiet Place”!

Does relaxation mode include a glass of wine or fancy martini? If you answered, ‘Absolutely’, you’ll want to stop at Table & Vine in West Springfield to pick up your favorite libation. Their selection is the largest on the east coast and they even have gourmet snacks to go with your favorite cocktail.

Maybe your idea of relaxing includes a sweet treat. We have options for that, too. Mama Cakes in Westfield features a large selection of decadent cupcakes made daily.

To get your chocolate fix, we recommend Richardson’s Candy Kitchen in Deerfield where chocolate is a delicious art form!
